Don and Joan Glasgow

Don and Joan Glasgow
 
 
Don Glasgow got his start in clay at the in 1964 University of Northern Colorado
when he was majoring in art at the University of Colorado. He was
requited to to take a ceramics. Once he got his hands dirty, there
was no turning back.
 
White attending College, they would have student art shows
and sales. After making a few and some money at pottery he realized
ther was future in selling pottery. Enough monery was made
at that time to purchase an air conditioner for car we had.
When I stated thowing on a kick wheel i realized Just maybe
I could do this.
 
In about 1972 Joan decided to give it a whirl. After all,
she said she had the best teacher around. Don says she is
the best student.
 
The shows started in college and soon after entered the
first competition at the Denver Art Museum.
 
 
 
Don and Joan Glasgow were major figures in in Colorado. They
gave much to the world of studio pottery for many years. The work
was always honet and well designed.
